Let's get real nuts, forget the 'assisted' suicide and the AI itself being a killer, let's talk about the root of all evil: The Government. Mine, yours and anyone else's'
AI has been in the works for a long time and like all tech the public version is years, maybe decades, behind the walled off stuff used in warfare, both physical and informational warfare, right?
You want AI regulating? Well it's not going to go down how you or I want it to, here's how it's going to shake out.
These kinds of AI generated comments and content have been used by Governments to warp public perception (their own and in other countries) for years, first with simple bot farms and then with machine learning bots, all of this is done in the name of national security. Just like how the PATRIOT ACT was pushed through legislation, because if you disagreed with the act then that made you someone who was anti-patriot, and nobody wanted to be seen as anti-patriot, not in the good old days just after 9/11.
"But Clockwork", someone may ask, "why would the Government suddenly relinquish their chokehold on this AI tech?" IRRELEVENT QUESTION. Wrong angle of attack.
By creating a new problem the Government can then provoke a desired response to the problem that they made. Maybe something the average populace wouldn't agree to otherwise, in short it's a justification for a war against 'misinformation'. Information warfare. By giving the public these AI tools you are essentially able to paint anyone as an potential enemy whereupon you become justified in taking unprecedented security measures.
It's all about confusion and identity. This AI tech will soon have the whole internet mired in a state of total disbelief and have everyday users jumping at shadows and illusions. Perfected AI generated speech, audio and video synthesised together will flood the internet and drown out reality. After that a massive wave of undercover AI accounts will flood social media, no one will be able to tell the difference between interacting with a real human or a machine. Even regular old emails, phone calls and television broadcasts will become completely untrustworthy.
And then you know what follows? The Governments who created these issues will suddenly come up with a solution to them! And that solution? Mandatory Digital Identity Verification for humans, at all times. This DIV will become the only way you can be sure you're dealing with a real, flesh and blood human being and not an AI generated mirage. And that will be that, the Government will have total information control.
The internet has always been a double edged sword. The anonymous nature of the net allows anyone at all to spread any thoughts, ideas or information patterns as they see fit with impunity. State secrets, dangerous ideas, conspiracy theories or even conspiracy facts. 'Misinformation'. 'Disinformation'. Now there is a simple 'solution' to this problem. The DIV will finally put an end to anonymity online, it will allow the Government to trace 'misinformation' and other 'dangerous' communications to it's source and mete out 'justice'.
I know what you're thinking, people will surely resist this. Joe Public won't stand for this and will let his/her voice be heard!. Well, do you think your bank is willing to risk doing business with an AI? With some simulacrum made to resemble you just well enough to breach your accounts and allow third party access to your money?
Of course they won't.
The DIV will be required not only to access the web but also to pay for your internet connection in the first place.
"But Clockwork," the same wrong man asks me again, "Surely they won't censor the entire internet just because of some new software tech and who even is the Government to decide what is and is not misinformation?!"
Well, that sounds like something a misinformation terrorist might say...
Controlling the output of generative AI is easy, the Government use it to create not just content but also context. First they will censor its use for any social taboos and then for anything else they desire and if people complain the Government will accuse them of wanting to engage in or promote social taboos. That's what I mean by 'create context'.
The use of AI will be corralled through a mixture of appeals to bias, ethics and copyright laws. Generative AI will still be out there but it will be neutered, lobotomized, crippled, controlled and monitored. Anything you create will be cryptographically signed with DIV so that it will be forever tied to you should that generated content become... problematic in the future.
Joe Public will hand over their rights, their control, to the Government because Joe Public will be desperate for the Government to step in and implement this solution, a solution to the problem that the Government made in the first place. Joe Public will eagerly hand over the keys to the castle and then the Government alone will be left to determine what is fiction and what is reality.
We get to have a brief taste of the kind of power that they have over us and then the Government will then reclaim their control over 'misinformation' and 'disinformation' and then they can finally put an end to 'misuse' of the internet once and for all. It's sinister, it's simple and it's happening right now.
